SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Downing-street newspapers dwell with exultation upon the belief we expressed on Wednesday last, that there appears no prospect of an immediate change of Ministry. They seem to catch at an independent opinion volunteered by the Times upon a subject so vital to all selfish parti zans, as an authority better worthy of confidence than any to which they themselves have access, and ingraft upon our declaration a swaggering taunt to the Conservatives about the probability of their long exclusion from office. We judged, and still judge, from the data before our eyes. Had there been an exchange of character between the Melbourne Cabinet and that body of gentlemen who sur round the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, and from amongst whom the members of their Government would, of course, be f)rmetl—had the Whigs proved them selves to be honest men, and the Conservatives mere ped- lars and traffickers for place —we might have framed a different calculation of the political chances. The Whigs as houcA men must have resigned, after the proved im possibility of carrying that measure which Lord Melbourne solemnly pledged himself " to carry or resign." The Whigs as honest men could not have been parties to a Tithe Bill strippcd of the appropriation clause, after Lord Meibourne scornfully announcing to the House of Lords that he and his col leagues sloA upon the appropriation principle; they stood upon that to which they were pledged, and if not sustained by Parliament in that principle, they were ready to retire froai 0i1:cc..." Well, they have not been supported in their principle ; and why have they not resigned? Because they are greedy, forsworn, and dishonoured men, without one spark of public principle, or feeling for aught but pelf and place. Lord John Russell in 1835 declared, that "as between Sir Robert Peel's Government and the app!-eplia. tien principle, it was better that the principle shouldsuc cecd and the Government fall." But it seems that Lord John Russell apples no parity of sentiment or reasoning to the case of that Adnlinistratscn of which he is himself a Member : there his Lordship deems it considerably more _ _ _ expedient that, the principle should fall and the Government continue. The pledge given in the face of Parliament by the Melbourne Ministers during the Spring of 1835 was not in the nature of a private bargain with Mr. Daniel O'Connell alone, from the obligation of which they might be absolVed at the pleasure of that self-seeking personage. It was the promulgation to the empire at Lrge of a broad principle oC State policy, for the wise and jest (as they re presented the matter) Govet nment of Ireland to all future time. It was a proposal to the whole body of Irish Papists of how much they (the Ministers) undertook to perform towards the downfall of the Protestant Church in Ireland, and the setting up of Popery on its ruins. Hare the Irish Papers ever released the Ms :bourne Ministers from that fatal bond, criminal in its execution, we are all aware, but not the less disgraceful in its forfeiture from ignominous motires ? Assuredly they have net. Priests end laymen reprobate alike the mercenary alacrity with which Mr. Daniel O'Connell encouraged the Ministers to sponge out the appropriation clause from their debt to the " people of Ireland." Priests and laymen are loud and unanimous in their abuse of the Melbourne Cabinet for truckling to the Church, and violating their solemn compact with the Papists. The people of England, on the other hand, have nothing to complain of beyond the spectacle of their indignant country ruled by a set of adventurers so degraded. The people of England rejoice over the surrender of the appropriation clause—a clause which first, perhaps, opened their eyes to the calamitous results of a league with Irish Popery. But the moral sense of the British nation—the spirit of man hood, honour, and good faith which guides it—has not been on that account a whit the less shocked at the fast-and loose play of these licentious and profligate gomeiters, at the wickedness of their designs, and the meat.ness of their practices. When, therefore, we threw out an opinion that such men as the Melbourne Ministry would still keep pos session of office, our prognostic was governed, and pre cisely measure d , b y our k now l e d ge t h at p o liti ca l b aseness like theirs was insensible to all humiliation. When the feel ing ofself-respect is gene, the man has dung off his first essential attribute. He is no longer to be wrought upon by treatment which would wring other men wi:h agony, or rouse them to fu r y. O ur j u d gmen t, th ere f o re, of what was and is likely to was formed, we repeat quo7id any change of Ministry, repeat once more, upon the certainty, founded on manifold experience, that no moral considera tion whatsoe;;er, cf shame or glory, of r;glit or wrong, would induce those Ministers, the fags and slaves of a dis reputable master, to make or receive any overtures towards such a cons umma ti on . Th ere i s lik ew i se anot h er element of prophecy within us . Th e C onserva tiv es , as we ll as the , lug- Radi ca l s now in office, must be parties to any change. Our trust in them is not less perfect than our knowledge of and contempt for the Ministers. If the Ministers have proved themselves to be men who will at any time, for the sake of office, betray the principles by professing which they managed to usurp it, Sir Robert Peel and the Con servatives have impressed upon their countrymen—upon friends and enemies—an equally strong conviction that they at least are too generous and upright to make stalking horses of their own solemn engagements, or to hesitate one moment about the sacrifice of place, unless by the retention of it they would be fully enabled to carry out their own declared views of sound constitutional policy, and to save the empire from the infliction of measures hostile to the interests of all good government, but most so to the welfare of the British Monarchy, as transmitted to them by their fathers. A single vote of the House, of Commons upon a detached measure of finance filled the noble mind of the Duke of Wellington with disdain for a position wherein he must have been responsible for proceedings of which he disapproved. Sr) Robert Peel's respect for the rights of the Church, and conviction of the blessings of which our religious ee ablishment had for ages been pro ductive, was stronger than his love of that official power which a single act of treachery to the Church would have permitted him still to exercise. Without an hour's hesita tion, therefore, that upright Statesman resigned : on the contrary, t'.e Whig passion for office has been stronger than their hatred of the Church ; so the Whigs stand fast by their places. When Sir Robert Peel shall have been fully satisfi 1, that by acceding to office, and by the com position of Parliament, be will be thoroughly enabled to govern England as in his conscience he believes that England ought, for the sake of her people and of their posterity, to be governed, then, and not before, will he listen to any propositions made to Lim, come whence they may, for superseding their present in capable and discreditable Ministers. The appetite for office, abstracted from a reliance on his ability thereby to save and serve the country, will not prevail upon Sir Robert Peel. It was not the love of office which swayed him in November, 1834. It was a deep feeling of duty towards his Sovereign, who, the Right Hon. Baronet was aware, had taken an imprudent step, and the abruptness of the occasion, which left him or the Duke of Wellington no alternative—it was that which overpowered the repugnance of Sir Robert Peel, and forced him to accept a post wherein he might do much indeed for his own character, and for the diffusion of right principles throughout society, but little in the shape of those immediate benefits, of which the instrument must always be an effective majority in the House of Commons. Meanwhile, the Papists throughout Ireland are working vigorously for the cause of English Conservatism. O'Connell is another, and no insignificant factor, for Sir Robert Peel. The Ultra-Radicals here are hourly filling the ranks cf the constitutional army. The place-holding Whigs, as a distinct and Lep:irate faction, are annihilated. The whole works for good, but there must be no precipitancy on the part of honest men.—Times. The half million of souls assembled on Kersal-moor, near Manchester, will by degrees dwindle down to the proper number. The Manchester Guardian of Tuesday last admits "that the attendance very considerably exceeded our expectations, and showed that the diligent canvassing and placarding by which the a ff a i r was p rece d e d h i d pro duced considerable effect up on th e cur i os i ty, if not on t h e political feelings, of the surrounding population, and a meet ing was collected which, we believe, has not been exceeded in magnitude by any political assemblage held in this neighbourhood since the memorable meeting on the 16th of August, 1819." But the Guardian tells us, at the same time, that so far from the numbers approaching to the magnificent estimate of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who says there were eighty acres of full-grown men, women, and children, which, at five to the square yard, would make the very wondrous number of 1,936,000, the persons ac tually present et any one time did not exceed 30,000. "In order," says the Guardian, "to form a meahrately correct cpinion as to the number of persons present at a mee ting like that on Monday, it is necessary to look at the ground either before or after the proceedings ; because a piece of land, when ien covered by a dense crowd of people, al ways looks much more extensive than it really is; and when we saw the meeting on Monday we supposed it to cover much more ground than we f A ou n n v d r , e o r n ,on a wsubbosesqauwenantdinmspixeecd lion, to have been the se ' it was , and who with the assemblag e, who ground, not i c ed how will find placed that the place will now go and view the occupied by that den se portion of tl;e meeting which stood near the hustings may be readily distinguished by the way in w hich the grass has been trcddthetaitd i o t ia i n s ; vaernyd littlel l f t at very likely to his astonishment, all, more than forty yards span.. He will also find that the line of flags and banners (whiolo vas a not g more than side of the solid part of the meetingwas ) lon way seventy-five yard,' from the front of the husti i g , .s f the Taking data, we are quite satisfied that if the who— itrshotsens present at one o'clock (when they were the most numerous) had stood as close as those who were immediately in front of the hustings, they would certainly not have filled a space of e i g hty yards square ; and we d o not b e li eve that there were . a t any one time so ma n y as 30 , 000 persons prese nt on the gr ound. NVe understand that Colonel W c myss, who was on the moor with several other military officer 3 and who took grrat pains to form a correct judgment of the numbers present, esti mated them at 30,000, which we believe to be rather over than under the truth, but which all reasonable men will greatly pre- _~ fer to the calculations of Mr. reargus O'Connor, or the-mow moderate guesses of those who make the numbers only some One, two, or three hundred thousands." An assemblage of 30,000 is no doubt a very large one ; but there is a difference between 30,000 and half a million or even 300,000.—Morning Chronicle. There is nothing would tend more to promote the suc cess of the mighty efforts which the people are now making for the recovery of their rights, and a fair representation in the Legislature, than the preparation of practical plans by which the object sought after might be carried into effect. Measures proposed in vague and general terms never excite the same attention as those which are presented in form ready for immediate application. We would, therefore, strongly recommend those taking the lead in the present manifestations, and especially the delegates ap pointed to meet in London, to direct their attention to the preparation of measures which might at once be pre sented -for Legislative sanction, rather than indulge in de clamation, which, however serviceable in arousing popular enthusiasm, is otherwise ue_lors to Ilracticel ri2sults. Mr. Grote has already accomplished this service for one of the measures now claimed by the people, and by the preparation of the ballot-box effectually silenced the objections of those v-ho affected to believe that no means could be devised whereby perfect secresy could be secured and fraudulent voting at the same time pre vented. Some practical plan ought next to be prepared for the Extension of the Suffrage. To claim Universal Suffrage, without being prepared to sho..v how it may be, carried into effect, imlicates vagueness of purpose, and makes the people appear as if they were not in earnest in their demands. Universal Suffrage, though indisputably recognised by the British Constitution, appears to us a most just but impracticable theory. A limit must some where be fixed, or we should have in every constituency such fraudulent intrusions on the legitimate franchise as were practised at Preston under the potwalloping" sys tem. This is the only claim in the Charter which appears visionary. As to the duration of Parliament, with House hold Suffrage, protected by the B clot, it would be a matter of corni-arative indifference whether fixed at one or three years. The payment of Members of Parliament we con sider to be a just and salutary practice, but with the great essentials—Household Suffrage and the Ballot—it would signify little whether or r.ot Members received a salary. It. is strange that Mr. O'Connell objects to the pay ment of Members, though we have always considered that it v - as on this piincip!e—of the labourer being worthy of his hire—that Le eentioued to receive the an nual offering of the Irish p7ople. Being, however, op posed to tile payment of Members for their legislative labours, we are at a loss to conceive the grounds on which he claims exemption in his own case. He also charges the Reformers of England with being vague in their purposes, though, with the exception of Universal Suffrage, in which be coincides, and Anon J Parliaments, to which we believe the great body of Reformers attach little importance, there is no subject proposed in -the " People's Charter" which has not long engaged the best efforts of all genuine Re formers. Who will dare to assert that the Ballot is a visionary proposition? or the payment of Members vi sionary ? Universtl Suffrage Mr. O'Connell advocates — therefore, his elurge cannot apply to it ; and even as to Annual Parliaments, we see nothing so visionary as Mr. O'Connell's own proposition of taking fifty Members from England and adding them to the representation of Ireland. It is true, the people want efficient leaders. The time is one which requires greater talent than that necessary for the mere manufacture of a speech to direct the popular movement. But notwithstanding this , having so much ex perience of the duplicity and desertion of leaders, of which we might adduce innumerable instances, we prefer seeing the people rely on their own good sense and exertions, ra ther than blindly follow the dictation of any individual, however exalted his talents, or enthusiastic his zeal in the cause of popular freedom.—Morning Advertiser. King Dan would scent to have summoned his Ministers from Downing-street to Dublin. The Marquis of Lans downe is there. Sprince Rice is there. The Lord Lieu tenant is there, of ceu,se ; and, finally, Lord John Russell his insinuated himself into the interesting group, Is Dan angry ? What can he want with so many of his vassals at one time ? The Queen is favoured with ti,e company of only two of her Ministers at Windsor ; and it would seem to be doubtful whether these two, together with their Royal Mistress, may net be speedily summoned to Dublin, in order to grace the perfect development of some of Da niel's schemes. The Pilot—which is the Agitator's own paper--alludes, in mysterious style, to the possibility cf such an event : " What if our little Queen were to take it into her head to have a peep at us here, and, liking us, as no doubt she will when she does come, call her faithful Commons' of that part of the United Kingdom ' called Ireland' together in some of the large and convenient rooms of Dublin Castle, and there propound of her own free will and accord wise and wholesome laws for the government and improvement of this unhappy country? What a simple and a short cut this would be to con fer justice on Ireland 1" " The mere imagining of the thing fills us with inex pressible delight. It is an excellent idea, and we will cling to it. And after all, what is there to prevent this desirable thing taking place? It would be an absolute relief to the British Parliament to get rid of the multitude of vexatious questions propounded in St. Stephen's Chapel. And to the Irish people it would be a boon of such a nature, that we have no doubt the country would leap into prosperity by two short years of its working. It would remove the necessity of a re peal of the Legislative Union, up-in which the hearts of the Irish people are now set, and the demand for which nothing can satisfy but an equivalent such as we glance at. We are sure her Majesty would find a three or four months' residence amongst us in summer or autumn a delightful thing. The people from their hearts' offering would build her a magnifi cent palace ' in less than no time :' and then for the balls, and the races, and routs, and the masquerades, and the regattas, and the balloons—Dublin would be Dublin again 1" The promised palace might, beyond doubt, be easily provided, by the simple process of plundering the Esta blished Church to the necessary extent I. And the " short est cut," as we imagine, to the " justice" desired by the Pilot, would consist in the recognition by the Queen of the Romish faith as the best fitted for Ireland. The extinc tion of the Protestant population would, no doubt, in like manner, soon afterwards " relieve the British Parliament" from some of the cares which now exist in connection with the affairs of the emerald isle I .—Morning Herald. The recent and the approaching manifestations, as they are called, in favour of Universal Suffrage and other con stitutional charges, of which the obvious intention is, and the certain effect would be, to convert the Goverament of Great Britain into an unmitigated democracy, would be subjects only for contempt and derision if we were at liberty to regard them merely as isolated and unconnected displays, the accidental ebullitions of local irritation and discontent, or the ostentatious parade which district dema gogues have always delighted, according to the instinct of the whole demagogue tribe, to make of the numbers of their infatuated dupes. These democratic exhibitions have been unattended by even the ordinary displays of popular talent ; they have not in any instance been graced by the presence of men who can be supposed to represeut the opi nions or feelings of any portion of the possessors of property in this country ; and with the single exception of the Manchester meeting, they have not presented any very formidable array of numbers. Why i 3 it, then, that many well-informed and reflecting persons regard these new Reform meetings as symptoms of danger, and look forward with anxiety and appre hension to the consequences which they seem to portend ? When the true sources of this alarm are considered, it will not appear so chimerical or absurd as persons who look merely to the external aspect and separate proceed.; ings of the popular assemblages recently held, might be disposed to think it. The circumstances which distinguish the present from any former popular movement within our recollection are the uniformity of impulse and apparent unanimity of will by which the assembled masses are actu ated in parts of the country remote from, and having no special connection with, each other. On this occasion the multitudes seem to have been better drilled for the exercise they arc to go through than we have been accustomed to see them. The regulations of the service in which they are engaged vierea good are eec one,adhered to with a steadiness which, if the cause would be worthy of all praise. They listen to the demagogues who are appointed to address them with exemplary attentio n applaud inthe right places like so many professional claqueurs, refrain from all insttebrreumpteiost practisednofth menseriesepredeteramtiennerpderatn feasts in of motions b ionnszn from strictly any disturbance to the rota of toasts. Whence this change? It is believed t o b e th e resu l t of a secret organization n moreagenizaon amon„, the working cla sses o f our f e l low-c ountrymen, exten sive and more perfect than has ever existed until now. There cannot be a stronger proof of the existence or the force of th e organ i sa ti on f or Republican purposes ' p s am on lowe r or d ers o f t h e peop l e than their steady resistance aong to the lur e w hi c h every Ministerial orga n has industriously held out to the working classes, with a view to chan ge the object of t h e i r ag i tat i on, and to substitute the demand of a repeal of the Corn-law, for what they have been taught to denominate " the People's Charter." That an artifice so shallow as this should not : Itav ehad beenmuch success can to excite no su r p r i se. But it m gat ' hive detach some p or ti on, at l east, of some oneassemblyexpectefm the general obj ec t, an d thus to occasion a kind of diversion, however however momentary or i ns i gn i f i cant. There has not, how ever, been anything of this kind. The trick of the Whig, and political economists, favou ra bl e as circumstances i- pened accidentally to be to its success , h as wholly and miserably failed. The concerted watchword of the con federated masses has alone been beard, the trusted advo altcs of the " People's Charter," the orators of Universal Suffrage, the Greys, and Russells, and Broueams, and Melbournes of the new Reform have been all in all. This confederacy o f Radical Associations and Trade s ' Unions, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1838. -organised for the avowed purpose of destroying every vestige of the British Constitution, may not be dangerous at present. It is yet in the weakness of infancy. lint no thing can be more clear than that, if Ministers permit it to grow to maturity, it will present a danger requiring wiser heads and arms more vigorous than theirs to avert or to encounter it. This, however, if we may judge from the past conduct of Ministers, is what they will probably do. Nothing better can reasonably be expected at their hands, than that this seditious, revolutionary, and most dangerous confederacy shall be permitted to go on, and to increase, as in the case of Canada, until some serious calamity shall have ariien, and that then they will suddenly betake them selves to some mode of repairing the mischief, repugnant alike to the first principles of the Constitution, and the ob vious dictates of justice.—Morning Post. !lions, obtained against him by Stowel, the informer, for vend ing an unstamped weekly publication without the printer's name being on the first and List page. Mr. GREGORIE adjourned the decision until Wednesday next. Stowel had one hundred more informations to lay for the same offence. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Jasper Gnivas, proprietor of omnibus 4,514, appeared before Messrs. CODD and GROVE to a summons pre ferred against him by Inspector Mellish, of the N division, charged with driving at a speed endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. Pollee constable N 263, on Saturday morning, about half past •nine o'clock, we.; in Stoke Newington, when the defen dant's omnibus passed him. Ai it approached the horses were gallopping, and they continued to do so till they were out of sight; the animals were not flogged. The defendant bad no witnesses, when he was fined 40s. and costs. Mr. Gaova remarked that it was time that a stop should be put to the furious driving on that road. They had constant complaints Prom the Insp,c!or, sad it wes the only road in the district of the office that he had to find fault with. The defendant said it was a hard, case for him to pay so heavy a fine. Mr. Conn said that they had mitigated it from 5/. to 40s. Mr. GROVE—lie will find it harder by the 7th of next month, when he would be liable to be sent to the tread-mill, according to the Act which will then come in force. We shall then be able to put a stop to the practice of furious driving. The fine was paid. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. SAPz• 27. Chqrlcs Julius Milder, who described himself as a " come dian," of Covent-Garden Theatre, applied on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent, who was unopposed, had, it .pp eared, accepted accommodation bills for his brother, Ben jamin Richcs Bender, who had been a wine-merchant, publi can, and lately he knew not what, or where he was to be found. The insolvent was discharged, having taken his " benefit"— the third comedian who has done so since Alonday. POLICE INTELLIGENC B 0 W- S T.REET. An American, named John Hannon, was brought here in the custody of Ruthven, the officer, charged with cat'sing or procuring to be engraved a plate of a note for ten dollars, of the Toronto Bank, Upper Canada. He was also charged with causing to be engraved the name of t he cashier and pre sident of the bank. Mr. Bean, solicitor for the Society of Bankers, established for the prevention of frauds and forgeries, attended to I - •ro3ecute the case, and Mr. Wooenn, solicitor, Hatton-garden, eppeared for the prisoner. Henry Hayes, an engraver, stated that fee d , fendant came to his house about the middle of Augest last, and after some conversation, re guested him to wait upon him the next day at Beetle's Hotel, Conduit-street, where he lodged. The following day witness accordingly went to the Hotel, sad saw the defendant, who said that he wanted several things engraved, and among others some bank plates and portraits. He showed witness the note for ten dollars, now produced, and wished it engraved. It was not at that time out, as it now appea.s. He produced no authority for engraving the note. Mr. Missitm. inquired if he wished an exact copy of the note produced ? WItIiCSS said he did ; and he proceeded to engrave it on copper. He left the blanks as they are in the note, for the signatures and number. He finished the plate and made an impression from it, which is produced. Witness completed the plate in about a month after he received the order. When completed the prisoner called to see it, and observed that it did not so closely resemble the copy as he would have wished, but he approved of it. The ruling part round the " 10" was not so like the original es he expected. He then ordered witness to strike off eighty impressions, which he did; and the prisoner afterwards called for the impressions and plate, which he had paid for, and they were delivered to him. Be fore the plate was completed he paid witness the sum agreed upon—viz., fourteen guineas for engraving it, but as he c , m plained that there was more work about it than - he had antici pated, the prisoner offered to make the price twenty guineas, and paid the balance on the day the plate was finished. He applied two or three times before he got the imp ress i ons , an d about a fortnight ago he came to witness's house, anthe then delivered him the plate which he took away. Witness consi dered that it was . ne cessary to make some inqui r i es a b out t h e prisoner before he gave up the impressions and plate, and he therefore, consulted some of his f r i ends , who had lately come from America, previous to delivering the plate. Before it was finished the defendant desired witness to put the names of Roden, Wright, and Hatch, who are very respectable en- • gravers in New York, and bad engraved the original note upon the corner of the copy. Witness re f use d t o d o so , but offered to put his own name upon it. The defendant said that witness's name would not do, and offered to give him a sovereign to engrave the names which appear upon the original note, but witness declined the offer, and the prisoner then observed that he would get it done in America. After taking the plate away, the prisoner came back, and requested witness to engrave another note for five dollars of the same bask for him, which witnesa agreed to do. He wished also to have a note of some other bank engraved, but witness did not remember the name of the bank; he would know it, how ever, if he heard it. Mr. Bush, on a future day, would be prepared to prove the second charge, viz., that the defendant had caused, or pro cured to be made, a stamp to resemble the signatures of the cashier and president of the Bank. The witness by whom the stamp was made was at present out of town, but would be pro duced as soon as possible. The case was then remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. KITCHEN DIGNITY. —Martha Lambshead, cook, complained to Mr. CIIAIIIISRS and Mr. HALL that she had been assaulted by her master, A. Manning, Esq., of Chalk-hill House, Kingsbury, on Sunday week last. The complainant said her master came into the kitchen to make inquiries respecting a haunch of venison for dinner that day. Her master took offencc at something she said, and he threatened to roast her on the fire, or put her in the horse pond. He then seized her by the arm, and forcibly turned her out of the house. For this assault she had taken out a warrant. _ _ . Mr. Manning, in reply, said Mrs. Manning had found it necessary to give some orders to the housemaid respecting some dairy matters, at which the cook had chosen to take offence, and on Sunday morning, when asked by the footman to get the butter for the family's breakfast, she refused. Mrs. Manning went into the kitchen to remonstrate, but was treated with great rudeness by the cook. As Mrs. Manning was in that delicate situation which made any violent agitation dan gerous he (defendant) interfered, and he told the cook if she caused any disturbance so as to alarm her mistress, he would put her en the fire, or in the horse-pond. He then requested to be shown the venison ; the cook answered to the effect that he might go and look at it without her assistance. He asked her to go to the dairy and get the butter • and, withou t in tending to use force, he took her arm and led her towards the door of the yard. When outside, the woman construed the act into a turning out; and, although she knew there was to be company at dinner, she refused to return into the house and resume her kitchen labo urs . Th e f a ct was, the wom a n was such a vile temper th a t hi s servants re f use d to stay with him while she was in th e h ouse , an d h e h a d p a rted with three or four good serva n t s mere l y b ecause h e th oug ht they enter tained an unfound e d p re j u di ce towar d s h er . Mr. CHAMBERS said the complainant was very foolish in bringing such a matter forward. The assault had been dis proved; but as Mr. Manning had admitted the threatening words, he should mulct him in the expenses only, without in flicting any fine. IRISII BOTHERATION.—Kitty Moran made her appearance before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, to charge Peggy Kim mins with an assault. _ . _ I wint, yor Harmer (began Kitty), to the kitchen to warm a drink for me b :by, who's sick, in the carfce-pot, whin Mistress Kimmins pitched me on the broad of me back, and tried to jump me into ribbons; but Pat Marah and Jimmy Grady hin dered her. She hadn't anny business to do Aid the kitchen (said Peggy); she's ony a ladger, and the kitchen belongs to Pat Marah, the landlord. Mr. CHAMBERS—But what do you say to trying to jump on this p oor woman, w h o i s j ust ready to be put to bed? A woman in h er s t a t e i s no t fit t o fight Kitty (whimpering) — That's th e bl esse d trute , yer Baner. I don't know one hour from the other of me down-lying, so I'm not able for the next wake or ten days to take a fight wid anny woman. Pat Marah an old Irish lodging-house keeper, was called as the complainant's witness. Mr. CHAMBE RS— Y o u've a kit c hen in your house for the use of your lodgers? Pat (making a reverence)—You may say that, yer Wanner. Mr.Cll4lll3Ell3—And the lodgers may heat any thing they please in it? Pat—Bar, that, place yer Manner. They may boil and roast, but I make them " ate" their grub in their own rooms. Mr. CHAMBERS -I said " heat," not " eat," man. Have your lodgers thz use of the kitchen fire? Pat—That's the trute, and be the same token Peggy Kimmins hadn't a right in the kitchen, bekase she's nothing at all to me. Peggy—You're the father of me six childer, anny how. Mr. CHAMBERS—IS that true? Pat—She says so; but how do I know its true? Peggy—You've been a big rogue to me, Pat Marah. Peggy here entered into a history of her connection with Pat. She had lived at the Sablonicre as servant, and had saved a little money. This fact came to the knowledge of Pat Marah, Who soon contrived to scrape an acquaintance with her and her cash. The result may be soon told— " He came wooing—she was won, lle was false—she undone." Pat--There's no living wid her : she's the very di v il f or tongue. She's got fr i ends in Ireland, and if she'll go t h ere I'll give her three pounds. kr. CIIAMBF,RS—You ought at least to give her a pound for each child. Pat—l'm agreeable to anything in rason. Mr. CIIAMBERS.—Why don't you go, woman ? Peggy (curtseying) —Thank yer Hanner—God tless yer Hanner (walking away). Mr. CHAMBERS.—Come back, woman. I don't mean that you are to leave the office. I asked you whether you would not go to Ireland if your expenses were paid you ?

William Baker, Q------- a r n an i S red (2 a U s A a R ‘ E ‘ fresh water" sailor, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with stealing a snuff box in the pit of Astley's Theatre. There were other cases of strong suspicion against the prisoner, who was committed for trial, but will be brought up again on Wednesday. A lighterman, named Taylor, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with having inflicted a violent wound on the per son of William Hooker, of 47, King street, Westminster. A certificate was produced from Mr. Lavis, the medical man, which stated that Hooker was in considerable danger. Prisoner was remanded until Wednesday, bail being refused for his appearance. .William Illa gg s, a very respectable newsvender, residing in Middle -row, Knightsbridge, yesterday appeared on a sum- UNION-HALL Yesterday, John Donoghue, a labourer in the employment of Mem& Nlaudslay, the engineers, of the Westminster-road, was brought before Mr. SWAUEY, charged on suspicion with the murder of Honora Donoghue, his wife, a woman of up wards of forty years of age. As many rumours have gone forth with respect to the death of the deceased, the following will be found to be the correct particulars relating thereto :—On the proceeding afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as Sergeant Bent, of the L di vision, was ving his rounds, he was called to a house in St. Albaids-buildings, Lambeth-walk, where a murder was re ported to have been committed. He immediately procceded to the house pointed out to him, and on entering the front room on the first floor he saw the prisoner seated on a chair by the side of a bed, lying on which was a female apparently dead. The prisoner, whose eyes were stedfastly fixed on the corpse, seemed so absorbed in grief that he was at first un conscious of the pretence of the Sergeant, but when he looked up and saw him, 'ne merely said that his wife was dead, and, pointing to two women eho had just entered the room, said that they would tell the Sergeant the circumstances under which she had expired. The two women alluded to, whose names are Ellen Dunn and Sarah Buckley, were then questioned by the Sergeant, and their account of the circumstances attending the deceased's death was, that about four o'clock the same afternoon the prisoner returned home to his lodgings in St. Alban's-street from work, and find ing that his wife was out and the place in disorder, he went to look for her. On passing the door of No. 20 in the same street he beard his wile's voice, and tried to get into the house, but meeting with tome opposition he burst in the door, On entering the front room on the first floor he saw his wife in a state of intoxication, dancing and capering about ; and this so annoyed him that he began to upbraid her for neglecting her place, and giving herself up to drunkenness. She, how ever, paid no regard to his admonitions, but still kept on dancing about the floor, mimicking her husband, and giving utterance to the most insulting expressions. The prisoner be came rather excited at the reception he met with, lifted his arm, and gave his wife a blow on the side of the face, and she fell over a chair which was standing near the spot where she was struck. She fell heavily on the floor, and the prisoner accompanied the blow with an expression to the effect that she was a drunken wretch, and deserved to be treated with greater severity than ever he had adopted towards her. Neither the prisoner nor the two women who were in the roam at the time imagined that his wife had sustained any serious injury either from the blow or the fall, but upon finding th she lay perfectly motionless along the floor, the woman Dunn went and lifted her up, and exclaimed that she was either dead or ding. The moment that the prisoner heard the words, he ran and assisted in placing the deceased on the bed, at which time a few drops of blood issued from her mouth, but she never spoke a word. The prisoner lost no time in seek ing for medical aid, and in the course of a few minutes Mr. Russell, the surgeon of Brook-street, arrived, and on seeing her he pronounced that she was quite dead. The prisoner, on being subsequently taken into custody, e xpressed his regret at what had happened, said that his wife was in the habit of neglecting her home, getting drunk, and staying out, and that he had struck her a blow in the fice in the afternoon in question in the heat of passion, for her scandalous conduct. _ _ _ When the prisoner was placed at the bar, Mr. SwABEY, on perusing the charge as it was entered on the police-sheet, said that it was not his intention then to enter into an examination of the prisoner on Oa serious accusation with which he stood charged. The Magistrate then said that from the entry of the charge on the police-sheet it appeared that the woman's death was caused by a blow inflicted by her husband, and, therefore, to justify him in the detention of the accused, it was nece, , s2ry to ascertain whether the Sergeant would be enabled to produce such evidence as would establish the fact of violence having been used by the prisoner towards the deceased. The Sergeant replied in the affirmative, upon which the pri soner, who is a quiet, inoffensive-looking, hard-working man, was asked if he was desirous of saying anything in answer to the charge ; at the same time he was told that he was not compelled to say anything to criminate himself, and warned that perhaps it was best for him to say nothing on the subject of the accusation at the present stage of the inquiry. The prisoner, who seemed quite willing to describe all that had happened on the occasion, said that in compliance with the Magistrate's suggestion he should defer what he had to say until the proper time arrived.—The prisoner was remanded. It has been ascertained that the accused is a sober, honest man, and has been four years in the service of Messrs. Mauds lay, and that Isis wife was a woman of the most drunken habits, and spent every farthing she could raise in the purchase of liquor. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public busi ness. The most interesting subject appointed for considera tion was the Report relating to the vast Civic Improvements, undertaken, accomplished, and about to be accomplished, by the Corporation. GREAT CITY IMPROVEMENT& Mr. R. L. JONES, the Chairman of the London-bridge Committee, brought up the following Report : " To the Lord Mayor; Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Commit tee appointed to carry into execution the several Acts of Par liament for rebuilding London Bridge, and fur improving and making suitable approaches thereto, do ccrgy, that having, in our Report presented to the Hon. Court on the 223 day of June, 1836, stated, amongst other things, that we had agreed for the disposal of nearly the whole of the grourid from Lothbury to Moorgate, upon terms of a very favourable and advantageous nature, such as to justify thc, statement contained in our Report of the 24th day of February in that year—viz., that having carefully considered the .s•t•it , of the funds under our controul and management, with all the charges and liabilities up :n the same, rye are fully sati:-.11 , A that a considerable surplus would re.i;ao o ter th, ccrupl.- Lion of the various improvements contemplated by the several Acts of Parliament that were referred to U 3 to be carried into effect—we have now in continuation to report that the remain der of the ground in Aloorgate having been let upon equally advantageous terms, the bui!dings generally were proce',Aled with and are now nearly completed; that in furtherance of the wishes of this lion. Court, we directed a communication to be made to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, informing them that this city having - widened Prince's-street, and formed the new scrod to Aloorgate, they confidently hoped that the Governor and Company of the Bank would have carried into full effect the promise contained in their letter of the 24th day of May, 1834, respecting the en closure at the north west corner of the Link, in Lothbury, in which communication we (your Committee) referred them to a letter from Sir John Soane, dated July 23, 1835, ad dressed to the Clerk of the City Works upon the subject, a copy of which letter had been transmitted to the Bank by our direction; and on the Bth day ofJuly, 1836, the Town clerk laid before this Hon. Court a letter from Mr. John Knight, the Secretary to the Bank, in reply thereto, stating. that the portion of ground ,referred to had at all times been found of great convenience and use to them in their building: operations, but that as soon as the city improved Lothbury by throwing back the houses from the Church to the new street and finished their improvements to the corner of Coleman street, the Bank t‘oull not object to ced, the ground in que: , - tien for the convenience of the public. • ‘' We beg farther to certify that the improvements autho rized to be made in Eastchcap, Little Tower -street, and Gracechurch-street, have been wholly effected, and the pulAic have received the benefit thereof fora considerable time. " That we have also proceeded with the improvement for widening Upper Thames-street to such an extent that t•.vo cares at the least may be enabled to pass through the same from Earl-street to Fish-street-hill, and although great public con venience has resulted therefrom, it would nevertheless be a desirable improvement if certain blocks of buildings is the street were taken down. We beg alsa to repeat, that in pro secuting the provisions cf the Act of Parliament, whereby v. e were required to provide a new rectory house for the rector of the parishes of St. Mary Woolnooth and St. Mary Wool church Ilaw, we hive caused a most commodious house to be erected in King Wiiliam-street, and the lease is now ready to be conveyed to the propel authorities, and we have also pro vided new burial.grounds for the parishes of St. Michael, Crooked-lane, and St. Magnus, London bridge, in lieu of those taken for the purposes of the new bridge and approaches, which have been auly consecrated, and appropriated to the uses of those parishes. " We beg leave further to certify, that this Honourable Court having, on the 24th day of February, 1836, been pleased to agree to our report to empower us to borrow the sum of 30,0001., to be secured upon the remainder of the ground-rents, for the purpose of enabling us to proceed with the treaties we had entered into for the completion of the before-mentioned improvements, that sum waa advanced by the Bank of England, and we have now the satisfaction of stating that the whole of the same has been repaid to them during the present year. And for the more full and complete information of this Honourable Court, we have annexed hereto an appendix (A.) —a statement of all the purchases of property allele by us since our report of the 19th of February, 1335, and is conti nuation of the statement annexed to the raid report, together with an account of the sums claimed and paid, or agreed to he paid, for the respective premises, and the manner in which the same was settled. I r carrying into effect the provisions of the various Acts of Parliament for the sale of ground-rents, we have during the last an present years disposed of considerable portions of property of that description in King William-street, Arthur street, Newgate-street, Gracechurch-street, Little Eastchcap, and Little Tower-street, upon satisfactory terms. " And for the further information of this Hon. Court, we have caused to be hereunto annexed an appendix (B), or ac count of our receipts and expenditure from the 31st day of January to the present time. " We beg further to certify, that see have recently taken into consideration the state of the funds which have been placed at our disposal for effecting the various improvements connected with the Bridge and its approaches, and have much gratification in stating that after carrying all the foregoing works into effect an available balance will remain. " That we have considered the great and increased traffic in the Poultry and Cheapside, which leads us to draw the at tion of the Court to the necessary improvements on the south side of Cheapside, and the want of a better access to the Southwark-bridge, and also the like want of a better commu nication to the north side of Cheapside from the north s;de of the Post-office to Lothbury, which would materially relieve the great thoroughfares of the Poultry and Cheapside, and after the best consideration we have been able to give the sub ject, we recommend, in the first instance, that the remaining portion of the funds should be applied, so far as the same will extend, in widening the line of street from Lothbury to the north side of the New Post-office, the further improve ment of Upper Thames-street as before referred to, and the completion of the improvement in Lothbury from Moorgate street to the church, and we therefore recommend the Hon. Court to empower us to take the necessary measures for en application to Parliament, in the next session, authorising the appropriation of such balance to these purposes. All which we submit to the judgment of this Hon. Court. Dated this 24th day of September, 1838. " R. L. JONES. ` 6 W. VENABLES, " H. J. ELMES " H. MARRIOTT. " W. HUNTER. " W. DAY. " W. A. PEACOCK.

He concluded by moving that the Report be agreed to. Mr. Jeer' seconded the proposition. After a long discussion, the Report was received and agreed to, Mr. Lott being the only member who held up his hand against it. It was then ordered to be printed.

None of the passengers sustained the slightest injury, but much damage was done to several of the carriages, and to one of the engines. On Monday, at the Police-office, Liverpool, 34 per sons were brought up charged with felony, and 91 charged with being disorderly; in all, 125 persons taken into custody in one day. HEIGHT OF WATER IN THE CANADIAN LAKES. —We understand that Alfred Barrett, chief engineer upon the western section of tie Erie Canal, with Mr. D. Jay Brown, assistant eneineer, visited Port Dalhousie, at the mouth of the Welland Canal, last week, to examine the water marks made in 1825, awl ascertain the comparative height of water in Lake Ontario from that period to this. On examination they learned that since the year 1825 that lake had been gr a dually rising, and within three years past rapidly increasing in volume, awl is now six feet eight inches higher than in 1825. It has fallen since the Ist of .July two inches, so that the entire rise of water has been six feet ten inches. Lake Erie, as near as can be ascertained, from water-marks at the feet of the lake and at Black Rock Harbour, leis risen only about four feet, or something less. And the Niagara river below about the same, the comparative height of the river and lake not varying over two inches since 1826. Lake Erie has appa rently fallen eight inches from its greatest height in June ; and from the extraordinary hot weather of the present summer, and the consequent evaporation going on, it would not be sur prising if the lake should fall 18 or 20 inches by the Ist of December. The lakes appear to be following the present year a similar course to what they did in 1818, after the very high stages of water which succeeded the cold and wet seasons of 1815, 1816, and 1817. During those three years they rose rapidly; and in the spring and early summer of 1818 were much higher than they had been for many years previous, al though not so high as now. But in the hot summer of 1818 the evaporation reduced the lakes nearly two feet in depth, and they continued to fall gradually in each successive year, till about 1821-2, and there remained without much change till since which they have been continually gaining in b 18 6 2 g 6 t - h 7 -a8 ; and volume.—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. ~l_w~.rW.~~ •I DREADFUL PIRACY. (From the Smyrna Gazette of the Bth inst.)t / v ? s An attempt unheard of, even in the time when pit 'ac y wi thin at its height in the Archipelago, has been committed the last few days at the entrance of the Gulf of Smy rn e• The following are the details of the event as transmitted to us by the Chancery of Holland : by The Netherlands brig Ilendrica Elizabeth, comman dad Captain A. Riedyk, coming from Trieste, was on the art et September, about noon, and in a dead calm, near the . h east point of the isle of Chin, when she was hailed by an, ,penboat, rowed by two men, who asked them for water. Sc.iireel had the boat approached the brig than several men who , were ' hidden under the deck suddenly apeeared, firing upon! the crew, whom they succeeded, after wounding three s s ilors, ie . driving below. The bandits then forced the Captain to. give them all the m one y he had; they also took poi'session et ail the new ropes they could find, as well as a part of thie ship's cargo, consisting of sugar (in loaves) and tobace'o• the afternoon the pirates forced the captain to condue:t the vessel to the coast of Ipsara, compelling the remainin the ShIIUIS to assist loin. Thus about sunset the vessel was l w ined the island. The robbers then made the sailors go below once more, closed the hatches in such a way that no one could es car , and after having strongly bound the arms of the unforti inate cipt sin, pu4.lii him again into his caldn, and scuttled'. the vessel. It was by almost a miracle that the crew were allßat to s ,ve themselves, at a time when there was eight feet o f in the hold, by means of a small opening at the foot the mainmast, which communicated with the Captain's cabin. a:d which the robbers had not perceived. Once frc e, t he crew endeavour. el to save the ship by the pumps, but .seeing the of theL• efforts, the Captain decided upon re sorting r to the la't extrein'ty, and at the moment that the wate . gained the deck they embarked in the boat, into w hich he t had conveyed ail that they were able to save. On Standil af noon the vessel disappeared under the waves to the nOrth Chio, two leagues foes the shoie, and on the next day of crew arrived at Smyrna, where every assistance was rendoreu them by the Consul-General of the Low Coun tries, %/he er hastened to inform the French Admiral, Commodore 1 30- deira, and the Capitan Pasha, who was at Ourlac , dem anding their assistance to discover the villains. The brigs Le .13(??'" ganvilb! and Le Montecuculi set out directly with the intentiort, of lairming the pirates, and the Capitan Pasha promised to despatch a frigate to make an active cruise about Ipsara. In coesequence of this event, Commodore Bandeira, in the interest of commerce, and to prevent new disorders at a time elpecially when a great number of ships frequent our ports , place one of his vessels to cruise continually outside the Gulf, and he proposes himself in the trip, for which he sailed ' to-day, to make the most active researches on his side to dis cover the authors of this act of piracy.
